A teacher at Léonard-de-Vinci University near Paris has died, after being stabbed in the throat by a former student in front of the institution.

The victim, a 60-year-old English teacher, was stabbed in the throat in front of Léonard-de-Vinci University on Wednesday, Le Parisien reported. The suspect is a Pakistani male, 37, who had been expelled from the institution last year.

Léonard-de-Vinci university is located in Courbevoie, a suburb of Paris on the edge of the city’s business district.
